Construction Accidents

Construction Accidents

Construction site accidents often lead to claims of catastrophic physical injuries, as well as claims for significant economic losses, including lost earnings and medical costs. These cases require an attorney with knowledge of the statutes and regulations that govern liability under New York’s Labor Law. They require attorneys who understand the rights and responsibilities of the various parties to a construction project, whether a property owner, a construction manager or a contractor, under the agreements between the parties. Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of the roles of the parties on a construction site and the potential for risk transfer under these agreements. We are also highly experienced in understanding the insurance agreements involved in such cases, whether with respect to the insurance procurement obligations of the various parties, the insurance actually procured by such entities or coverage issues that arise between insurers and insureds. We stand ready to handle each of these areas of construction accident litigation to secure the most efficient and most complete protection of our clients possible.
